You could concatenate the two cells together instead of merging them. I
the two cells are A1 and B1 the equation goes like this.
=concatenate(A1,B1)
That will take the information from cell A1 and merge it with B1 an
anything else you want to add to all the cells can be added by puttin
another comma in and specifying what you want to add, i.e.
=concatenate(a1," ", b1) - would put a space between the two pieces o
text.
=concatenate(a1,"-",b1) - would put a dash between the two pieces o
text.
=concatenate(a1,b1,"This is cool") - would put This is cool after th
two pieces of text.
Hope that helps
